She probably still smells like the vet - he just isn't sure she's the same kitty anymore - the smell will wear off. This happens with my boys when they have to go in alone - whoever was at the vet gets picked on by the one who stayed home and it's because they smell different.Kerry MacKenzie

Veterinary Questions

That's shocking if you're right, Stephanie. (I have to say I harbor fears about that happening to one of my FeLV kitties when I have to use an unknown vet in an emergency.) You could try putting the details to the group too. There are some extremely knowledgeable members, as you know. Kerry

One time when I took one of my feral boys, Oliver to be neutered, they by mistake (or with carelessness or no consideration because they felt that he was just a feral), in spite of my request of using ISO gas on him, they used Kedamine injection, and they did not even bother to check the weight,

If there's any way you could rub a towel or blanket or something the others have been sleeping on onto flavia it might help. Being feral, I doubt you can do that though. This has happened with me before, but it usually only lasts a few hours. Being feral, your cats are probably more 'suspicious'
